Panasonic DX-4000...just bought it!

[HARPO]

OK @juvela Roger. You were worried because it had been days since I posted a bike until yesterday, when I posted the Centurion Turbo. So how about now...less than 24 hours!!

I just got home with an all original, close to mint, Panasonic DX-4000 that was pampered its whole life. The attached first 4 photos are what the owner had posted, and because it's raining here right now I can't take my own photos. When the weather clears, I'll take pictures and tell what a wonderful guy I purchased the bike from. Until then...

Well, here I have an all original, 1 owner, house kept DX-4000...in MY SIZE frame!

The owner lives about 50-60 miles East from my house, but said he had work that was bringing him about 3 miles from my house...so he brought it with him to save me a trip. What a guy!! And he was very happy knowing it was going to someone who would appreciate it the way he did.

Originally he had it listed as a 1985 model (which is when he remembers buying it new), but the serial number and catalog pages I found make it a 1981 model. If I'm wrong, please correct me!

Anyway, a Super nice guy who gave me a Super nice price...$100...

I don't know if I find the bikes...or if they have a way of finding me...

I notice that the head badge has a "2061" stamp on it. I wonder if this is like the Schwinn head badge stamps, the 206th day of 1981?

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that. It does make sense, though, to do it like that.
